EXPLANATION
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each
volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, July 1, 2011), consult the ``List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request.
[[Page vi]]
Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
OBSOLETE PROVISIONS
Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before
April 1, 2001, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-
1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, or 1986-2000, published in eleven separate
volumes. For the period beginning April 1, 2001, a ``List of CFR
Sections Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.
``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY
The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and
not accidentally dropped due to a printing or computer error.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which
approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001,
or call 202-741-6010.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in
this volume.
An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within
that volume.
[[Page vii]]
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) and work practice standards for hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emitted from hydrochloric acid (HCl) production. This
subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the emission limitations and work practice
standards.
Sec. 63.8985 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate an HCl
production facility that produces a liquid HCl product at a
concentration of 30 weight percent or greater during its normal
operations and is located at, or is part of, a major source of HAP. This
does not include HCl production facilities that only produce
occasionally liquid HCl product at a concentration of 30 weight percent
or greater.
(1) An HCl production facility is the collection of unit operations
and equipment associated with the production of liquid HCl product. The
HCl production
[[Page 19]]
facility begins at the point where a gaseous stream containing HCl
enters the HCl production unit. The HCl production facility includes all
HCl storage tanks that contain liquid HCl product that is produced in
the HCl production unit, with the exceptions noted in paragraph (a)(2)
of this section. The HCl production facility also includes all HCl
transfer operations that load HCl product produced in the HCl production
unit into a tank truck, rail car, ship, or barge, along with the piping
and other equipment in HCl service used to transfer liquid HCl product
from the HCl production unit to the HCl storage tanks and/or HCl
transfer operations. The HCl production facility ends at the point that
the liquid HCl product produced in the HCl production unit is loaded
into a tank truck, rail car, ship, or barge, at the point the HCl
product enters another process on the plant site, or at the point the
HCl product leaves the plant site via pipeline.
(2) Storage tanks that are dedicated feedstock tanks for another
process and storage tanks that store HCl dedicated for use in wastewater
treatment are not considered part of an HCl production facility.
(3) A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or
group of stationary sources within a contiguous area under common
control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate
of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP
at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year.

Standards for Closed Vent Systems, Control Devices, Recovery Devices and
Routing to a Fuel Gas System or a Process.
(5) 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG, National Emission Standards for
Pharmaceuticals Production.
(c) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
is located following the incineration of chlorinated waste gas streams,
waste liquids, or solid wastes, and the emissions from the HCl
production facility are subject to section 63.113(c), subpart G,
National Emission Standards for Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants from
the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry for Process Vents,
Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater.
(d) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
produces HCl through the direct synthesis of hydrogen and chlorine and
is part of a chlor-alkali facility.
(e) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if it
is a research and development facility.
(f) An HCl production facility is not subject to this subpart if all
of the gaseous streams containing HCl and chlorine (Cl2) from
HCl process vents, HCl storage tanks, and HCl transfer operations are
recycled or routed to another process prior to being discharged to the
atmosphere.

source is operating. A monitoring malfunction includes, but is not
limited to, any sudden, infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure
of the monitoring equipment to provide valid data. Monitoring failures
that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are
not malfunctions.
(e) You may not use data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities
in data averages and calculations used to report emission or operating
levels, nor may such data be used in fulfilling a minimum data
availability requirement, if applicable. You must use all the data
collected during all other periods in assessing the operation of the
control device and associated control system.

4 and 5 to this subpart.
(c) You must report each instance in which you did not meet an
emission limit, work practice standard or operating limit in Table 1 or
2 to this subpart, respectively, that applies to you. This includes
periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. These instances are
deviations from the emission limitations in this subpart. These
deviations must be reported according to the requirements in Sec.
63.9050.
(d) [Reserved]
(e) Consistent with Sec. Sec. 63.6(e) and 63.7(e)(1), deviations
that occur during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are not
violations if you demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that
you were operating in accordance with Sec. 63.6(e)(1). The
Administrator will determine whether deviations that occur during a
period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are violations, according to
the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e).

Subpart OOOOO [Reserved]
Subpart PPPPP_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Engine Test Cells/Stands
Source: 68 FR 28785, May 27, 2003, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.9280 What is the purpose of subpart PPPPP?
This subpart PPPPP establishes national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for engine test cells/stands located
at major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. This
subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the emission limitations contained in this
NESHAP.
Sec. 63.9285 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate an engine test
cell/stand that is located at a major source of HAP emissions.
(a) An engine test cell/stand is any apparatus used for testing
uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive) engines.
(b) An uninstalled engine is an engine that is not installed in, or
an integrated part of, the final product.
(c) A major source of HAP emissions is a plant site that emits or
has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07
megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25
tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year.
Sec. 63.9290 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source.
[[Page 37]]
(a) Affected source. An affected source is the collection of all
equipment and activities associated with engine test cells/stands used
for testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive)
engines located at a major source of HAP emissions.
(1) Existing affected source. An affected source is existing if you
commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source on or
before May 14, 2002. A change in ownership of an existing affected
source does not make that affected source a new or reconstructed
affected source.
(2) New affected source. An affected source is new if you commenced
construction of the affected source after May 14, 2002.
(3) Reconstructed affected source. An affected source is
reconstructed if you meet the definition of reconstruction in Sec. 63.2
of subpart A of this part and reconstruction is commenced after May 14,
2002. Changes made to an existing affected source primarily for the
purpose of complying with revisions to engine testing requirements under
40 CFR parts 80, 86, 89, 90, 91, or 92 are not considered a modification
or reconstruction. In addition, passive measurement and control
instrumentation and electronics are not included as part of any affected
source reconstruction evaluation.
(b) Existing affected sources do not have to meet the requirements
of this subpart and of subpart A of this part.
(c) Any portion of a new or reconstructed affected source located at
a major source that is used exclusively for testing internal combustion
engines with rated power of less than 25 horsepower (hp) (19
kilowatts(kW)) does not have to meet the requirements of this subpart
and of subpart A of this part except for the initial notification
requirements of Sec. 63.9345(b).
(d) Any portion of a new or reconstructed affected source located at
a major source that meets any of the criteria specified in paragraphs
(d)(1) through (4) of this section does not have to meet the
requirements of this subpart and of subpart A of this part.
(1) Any portion of the affected source used exclusively for testing
combustion turbine engines.
(2) Any portion of the affected source used exclusively for testing
rocket engines.
(3) Any portion of the affected source used in research and teaching
activities at facilities that are not engaged in the development of
engines or engine test services for commercial purposes.
(4) Any portion of the affected source operated to test or evaluate
fuels (such as knock engines), transmissions, or electronics.
Sec. 63.9295 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) Affected sources. (1) If you start up your new or reconstructed
affected source before May 27, 2003, you must comply with the emission
limitations in this subpart no later than May 27, 2003.
(2) If you start up your new or reconstructed affected source on or
after May 27, 2003, you must comply with the emission limitations in
this subpart upon startup.
(b) Area sources that become major sources. If your new or
reconstructed affected source is located at an area source that
increases its emissions or its potential to emit such that it becomes a
major source of HAP, your new or reconstructed affected source must be
in compliance with this subpart when the area source becomes a major
source.
(c) You must meet the notification requirements in Sec. 63.9345 and
in 40 CFR part 63, subpart A.
Emission Limitations
Sec. 63.9300 What emission limitations must I meet?
For each new or reconstructed affected source that is used in whole
or in part for testing internal combustion engines with rated power of
25 hp (19 kW) or more and that is located at a major source, you must
comply with the emission limitations in Table 1 to this subpart. (Tables
are found at the end of this subpart.)
Sec. 63.9301 What are my options for meeting the emission limits?
You may use either a continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS)
or
[[Page 38]]
a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) to demonstrate compliance
with the emission limitations. Continuous monitoring systems must meet
the requirements in Sec. 63.9306 (CPMS) and Sec. 63.9307 (CEMS).
Sec. 63.9302 What operating limits must I meet?
(a) For any new or reconstructed affected source on which you use
add-on controls, you must meet the operating limits specified in Table 2
to this subpart. These operating limits must be established during the
performance test according to the requirements in Sec. 63.9324. You
must meet the operating limits at all times after you establish them.
(b) If you use an add-on control device other than those listed in
Table 2 to this subpart, or wish to monitor an alternative parameter and
comply with a different operating limit, you must apply to the
Administrator for approval of alternative monitoring under Sec.
63.8(f).
General Compliane Requirements
Sec. 63.9305 What are my general requirements for complying with this
subpart?
(a) You must be in compliance with the emission limitation that
applies to you at all times, except during periods of startup, shutdown,
or malfunction (SSM) of your control device or associated monitoring
equipment.
(b) If you must comply with the emission limitation, you must
operate and maintain your engine test cell/stand, air pollution control
equipment, and monitoring equipment in a manner consistent with good air
pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at all times.
(c) You must develop a written SSM plan (SSMP) for emission control
devices and associated monitoring equipment according to the provisions
in Sec. 63.6(e)(3). The plan will apply only to emission control
devices, and not to engine test cells/stands.
[68 FR 28785, May 27, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20470, Apr. 20, 2006]
Sec. 63.9306 What are my continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS)
installation, operation, and maintenance requirements?
(a) General. You must install, operate, and maintain each CPMS
specified in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section according to
paragraphs (a)(1) through (7) of this section. You must install,
operate, and maintain each CPMS specified in paragraph (b) of this
section according to paragraphs (a)(3) through (5) of this section.
(1) The CPMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation for
each successive 15-minute period. You must have a minimum of four
equally spaced successive cycles of CPMS operation in 1 hour.
(2) You must determine the average of all recorded readings for each
successive 3-hour period of the emission capture system and add-on
control device operation.
(3) You must record the results of each inspection, calibration, and
validation check of the CPMS.
(4) You must maintain the CPMS at all times and have available
necessary parts for routine repairs of the monitoring equipment.
(5) You must operate the CPMS and collect emission capture system
and add-on control device parameter data at all times that an engine
test cell/stand is operating, except during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities
(including, if applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span
adjustments).
(6) You must not use emission capture system or add-on control
device parameter data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, out-of-control periods, or required quality
assurance or control activities when calculating data averages. You must
use all the data collected during all other periods in calculating the
data averages for determining compliance with the emission capture
system and add-on control device operating limits.
(7) A monitoring malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not
reasonably preventable failure of the CPMS to provide valid data.
Monitoring failures
[[Page 39]]
that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are
not malfunctions. Any period for which the monitoring system is out-of-
control and data are not available for required calculations is a
deviation from the monitoring requirements.
(b) Capture system bypass line. You must meet the requirements of
paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section for each emission capture
system that contains bypass lines that could divert emissions away from
the add-on control device to the atmosphere.
(1) You must monitor or secure the valve or closure mechanism
controlling the bypass line in a nondiverting position in such a way
that the valve or closure mechanism cannot be opened without creating a
record that the valve was opened. The method used to monitor or secure
the valve or closure mechanism must meet one of the requirements
specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) Flow control position indicator. Install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate according to the manufacturer's specifications a flow
control position indicator that takes a reading at least once every 15
minutes and provides a record indicating whether the emissions are
directed to the add-on control device or diverted from the add-on
control device. The time of occurrence and flow control position must be
recorded, as well as every time the flow direction is changed. The flow
control position indicator must be installed at the entrance to any
bypass line that could divert the emissions away from the add-on control
device to the atmosphere.
(ii) Car-seal or lock-and-key valve closures. Secure any bypass line
valve in the closed position with a car-seal or a lock-and-key type
configuration. You must visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism
at least once every month to ensure that the valve is maintained in the
closed position, and the emissions are not diverted away from the add-on
control device to the atmosphere.
(iii) Valve closure monitoring. Ensure that any bypass line valve is
in the closed (nondiverting) position through monitoring of valve
position at least once every 15 minutes. You must inspect the monitoring
system at least once every month to verify that the monitor will
indicate valve position.
(iv) Automatic shutdown system. Use an automatic shutdown system in
which the engine testing operation is stopped when flow is diverted by
the bypass line away from the add-on control device to the atmosphere
when an engine test cell/stand is operating. You must inspect the
automatic shutdown system at least once every month to verify that it
will detect diversions of flow and shut down the engine test cell/stand
in operation.
(2) If any bypass line is opened, you must include a description of
why the bypass line was opened and the length of time it remained open
in the semiannual compliance reports required in Sec. 63.9350.
(c) Thermal oxidizers and catalytic oxidizers. If you are using a
thermal oxidizer or catalytic oxidizer as an add-on control device, you
must comply with the requirements in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of
this section.
(1) For a thermal oxidizer, install a gas temperature monitor in the
firebox of the thermal oxidizer or in the duct immediately downstream of
the firebox before any substantial heat exchange occurs.
(2) For a catalytic oxidizer, you must install a gas temperature
monitor in the gas stream immediately before the catalyst bed, and if
you established operating limits according to Sec. 63.9324(b)(1) and
(2), also install a gas temperature monitor in the gas stream
immediately after the catalyst bed.
(i) If you establish operating limits according to Sec.
63.9324(b)(1) and (2), then you must install the gas temperature
monitors both upstream and downstream of the catalyst bed. The
temperature monitors must be in the gas stream immediately before and
after the catalyst bed to measure the temperature difference across the
bed.
(ii) If you establish operating limits according to Sec.
63.9324(b)(3) and (4), then you must install a gas temperature monitor
upstream of the catalyst bed. The temperature monitor must be in the gas
stream immediately before the catalyst bed to measure the temperature.
(3) For all thermal oxidizers and catalytic oxidizers, you must meet
the
[[Page 40]]
requirements in paragraphs (a) and (c)(3)(i) through (vii) of this
section for each gas temperature monitoring device.
(i) Locate the temperature sensor in a position that provides a
representative temperature.

Sec. 63.9307 What are my continuous emissions monitoring system installation,
operation, and maintenance requirements?
(a) You must install, operate, and maintain each CEMS to monitor
carbon monoxide (CO) or total hydrocarbons (THC) and oxygen
(O2) at the outlet of the exhaust system of the engine test
cell/stand or at the outlet of the emission control device.
(b) To comply with the CO or THC percent reduction emission
limitation, you may install, operate, and maintain a CEMS to monitor CO
or THC and O2 at both the inlet and the outlet of the
emission control device.
(c) To comply with either emission limitations, the CEMS must be
installed and operated according to the requirements described in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) You must install, operate, and maintain each CEMS according to
the applicable Performance Specification (PS) of 40 CFR part 60,
appendix B (PS-3 or PS-4A).
(2) You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CEMS according
to
[[Page 41]]
the requirements in 40 CFR 63.8 and according to PS-3 of 40 CFR part 60,
appendix B, using Reference Method 3A or 3B for the O2 CEMS,
and according to PS-4A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, using Reference
Method 10 or 10B for the CO CEMS. If the fuel used in the engines being
tested is natural gas, you may use ASTM D 6522-00, Standard Test Method
for Determination of Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen
Concentrations in Emissions from Natural Gas Fired Reciprocating
Engines, Combustion Turbines, Boilers, and Process Heaters Using
Portable Analyzers (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14). As an
alternative to Method 3B, you may use ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ``Flue
and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus],''
(incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14).
(3) As specified in Sec. 63.8(c)(4)(ii), each CEMS must complete a
minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data
recording) for each successive 15-minute period. You must have at least
two data points, each representing a different 15-minute period within
the same hour, to have a valid hour of data.
(4) All CEMS data must be reduced as specified in Sec. 63.8(g)(2)
and recorded as CO concentration in parts per million by volume, dry
basis (ppmvd), corrected to 15 percent O2 content.
(d) If you have CEMS that are subject to paragraph (a) or (b) of
this section, you must properly maintain and operate the monitors
continuously according to the requirements described in paragraphs
(d)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Proper maintenance. You must maintain the monitoring equipment
at all times that the engine test cell/stand is operating, including but
not limited to, maintaining necessary parts for routine repairs of the
monitoring equipment.
(2) Continued operation. You must operate your CEMS according to
paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) You must conduct all monitoring in continuous operation at all
times that the engine test cell/stand is operating, except for, as
applicable, monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and required
quality assurance or control activities (including, as applicable,
calibration drift checks and required zero and high-level adjustments).
Quality assurance or control activities must be performed according to
procedure 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix F.
(ii) Data recorded during monitoring malfunctions, associated
repairs, out-of-control periods, and required quality assurance or
control activities must not be used for purposes of calculating data
averages. You must use all of the data collected from all other periods
in assessing compliance. A monitoring malfunction is any sudden,
infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring
equipment to provide valid data. Monitoring failures that are caused in
part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. Any
period for which the monitoring system is out-of-control and data are
not available for required calculations constitutes a deviation from the
monitoring requirements.
Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9310 By what date must I conduct the initial compliance
demonstrations?
You must conduct the initial compliance demonstrations that apply to
you in Table 3 to this subpart within 180 calendar days after the
compliance date that is specified for your new or reconstructed affected
source in Sec. 63.9295 and according to the provisions in Sec.
63.7(a)(2).
Sec. 63.9320 What procedures must I use?
(a) You must conduct each initial compliance demonstration that
applies to you in Table 3 to this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an initial performance evaluation of each
capture and control system according to Sec. Sec. 63.9321, 63.9322,
63.9323 and 63.9324, and each CEMS according to the requirements in 40
CFR 63.8 and according to the applicable Performance Specification of 40
CFR part 60, appendix B (PS-3 or PS-4A).

[[Page 42]]
hour rolling average CO or THC concentration recorded after completion
of the CEMS performance evaluation. You must correct the CO or THC
concentration at the outlet of the engine test cell/stand or the
emission control device to a dry basis and to 15 percent O2
content according to Equation 1 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.002
Where:
Cc = concentration of CO or THC, corrected to 15 percent
oxygen, ppmvd
Cunc = total uncorrected concentration of CO or THC, ppmvd
%O2d = concentration of oxygen measured in gas stream, dry
basis, percent by volume.
(d) The initial demonstration of compliance with the CO or THC
percent reduction emission limitation consists of the first 4-hour
rolling average percent reduction in CO or THC recorded after completion
of the performance evaluation of the capture/control system and/or CEMS.
You must complete the actions described in paragraphs (d)(1) through (2)
of this section.
(1) Correct the CO or THC concentrations at the inlet and outlet of
the emission control device to a dry basis and to 15 percent
O2 content using Equation 1 of this section.
(2) Calculate the percent reduction in CO or THC using Equation 2 of
this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.003
Where:
R = percent reduction in CO or THC
Ci = corrected CO or THC concentration at inlet of the
emission control device
Co = corrected CO or THC concentration at the outlet of the
emission control device.
Sec. 63.9321 What are the general requirements for performance tests?
(a) You must conduct each performance test required by Sec. 63.9310
according to the requirements in Sec. 63.7(e)(1) and under the
conditions in this section unless you obtain a waiver of the performance
test according to the provisions in Sec. 63.7(h).
(1) Representative engine testing conditions. You must conduct the
performance test under representative operating conditions for the test
cell/stand. Operations during periods of SSM, and during periods of
nonoperation do not constitute representative conditions. You must
record the process information that is necessary to document operating
conditions during the test and explain why the conditions represent
normal operation.
(2) Representative emission capture system and add-on control device
operating conditions. You must conduct the performance test when the
emission capture system and add-on control device are operating at a
representative flow rate, and the add-on control device is operating at
a representative inlet concentration. You must record information that
is necessary to document emission capture system and add-on control
device operating conditions during the test and explain why the
conditions represent normal operation.
(b) You must conduct each performance test of an emission capture
system according to the requirements in Sec. 63.9322. You must conduct
each performance test of an add-on control device according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.9323.
Sec. 63.9322 How do I determine the emission capture system efficiency?
You must use the procedures and test methods in this section to
determine capture efficiency as part of the performance test required by
Sec. 63.9310.
(a) Assuming 100 percent capture efficiency. You may assume the
capture system efficiency is 100 percent if both conditions in
paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section are met:
(1) The capture system meets the criteria in Method 204 of appendix
M to 40 CFR part 51 for a potential to emit (PTE) and directs all the
exhaust gases from the enclosure to an add-on control device.
(2) All engine test operations creating exhaust gases for which the
test is applicable are conducted within the capture system.
(b) Measuring capture efficiency. If the capture system does not
meet the criteria in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section, then you
must use one of the
[[Page 43]]
two protocols described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section to
measure capture efficiency. The capture efficiency measurements use
total volatile hydrocarbon (TVH) capture efficiency as a surrogate for
organic HAP capture efficiency. For the protocol in paragraph (c) of
this section, the capture efficiency measurement must consist of three
test runs. Each test run must be at least 3 hours in duration or the
length of a production run, whichever is longer, up to 8 hours. For the
purposes of this test, a production run means the time required for a
single engine test to go from the beginning to the end.
(c) Gas-to-gas protocol using a temporary total enclosure or a
building enclosure. The gas-to-gas protocol compares the mass of TVH
emissions captured by the emission capture system to the mass of TVH
emissions not captured. Use a temporary total enclosure or a building
enclosure and the procedures in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this
section to measure emission capture system efficiency using the gas-to-
gas protocol.
(1) Either use a building enclosure or construct an enclosure around
the engine test cell/stand and all areas where emissions from the engine
testing subsequently occur. The enclosure must meet the applicable
definition of a temporary total enclosure or building enclosure in
Method 204 of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51.
(2) Use Method 204B or 204C of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 to
measure the total mass, kg, of TVH emissions captured by the emission
capture system during each capture efficiency test run as measured at
the inlet to the add-on control device. To make the measurement,
substitute TVH for each occurrence of the term VOC in the methods.
(i) The sampling points for the Method 204B or 204C of appendix M to
40 CFR part 51 measurement must be upstream from the add-on control
device and must represent total emissions routed from the capture system
and entering the add-on control device.
(ii) If multiple emission streams from the capture system enter the
add-on control device without a single common duct, then the emissions
entering the add-on control device must be simultaneously measured in
each duct, and the total emissions entering the add-on control device
must be determined.
(3) Use Method 204D or 204E of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 to
measure the total mass, kg, of TVH emissions that are not captured by
the emission capture system; they are measured as they exit the
temporary total enclosure or building enclosure during each capture
efficiency test run. To make the measurement, substitute TVH for each
occurrence of the term VOC in the methods.
(i) Use Method 204D of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 if the enclosure
is a temporary total enclosure.
(ii) Use Method 204E of appendix M to 40 CFR part 51 if the
enclosure is a building enclosure. During the capture efficiency
measurement, all organic compound emitting operations inside the
building enclosure, other than the engine test cell/stand operation for
which capture efficiency is being determined, must be shut down, but all
fans and blowers must be operating normally.
(4) For each capture efficiency test run, determine the percent
capture efficiency of the emission capture system using Equation 1 of
this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.004
Where:
CE = capture efficiency of the emission capture system vented to the
add-on control device, percent
TVHcaptured = total mass of TVH captured by the emission
capture system as measured at the inlet to the add-on control device
during the emission capture efficiency test
[[Page 44]]
run, kg, determined according to paragraph (c)(2) of this section
TVHuncaptured = total mass of TVH that is not captured by the
emission capture system and that exits from the temporary total
enclosure or building enclosure during the capture efficiency test run,
kg, determined according to paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
(5) Determine the capture efficiency the emission capture system as
the average of the capture efficiencies measured in the three test runs.
(d) Alternative capture efficiency protocol. As an alternative to
the procedure specified in paragraph (c) of this section, you may
determine capture efficiency using any other capture efficiency protocol
and test methods that satisfy the criteria of either the data quality
objective or lower control limit approach as described in appendix A to
subpart KK of this part.
Sec. 63.9323 How do I determine the add-on control device emission
destruction or removal efficiency?
You must use the procedures and test methods in this section to
determine the add-on control device emission destruction or removal
efficiency as part of the performance test required by Sec. 63.9310.
You must conduct three test runs as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(3), and
each test run must last at least 1 hour.
(a) For all types of add-on control devices, use the test methods
specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section.
(1) Use Method 1 or 1A of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, as
appropriate, to select sampling sites and velocity traverse points.
(2) Use Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, or 2G of appendix A to 40 CFR part
60, as appropriate, to measure gas volumetric flow rate.
(3) Use Method 3, 3A, or 3B of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, as
appropriate, for gas analysis to determine dry molecular weight. The
ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 Part 10 is an acceptable alternative to Method
3B (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14).
(4) Use Method 4 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, to determine stack
gas moisture.
(5) Methods for determining gas volumetric flow rate, dry molecular
weight, and stack gas moisture must be performed, as applicable, during
each test run.
(b) Measure total gaseous organic mass emissions as carbon at the
inlet and outlet of the add-on control device simultaneously, using
either Method 25 or 25A of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, as specified in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section. You must use the same
method for both the inlet and outlet measurements.
(1) Use Method 25 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 if the add-on
control device is an oxidizer, and you expect the total gaseous organic
concentration as carbon to be more than 50 parts per million at the
control device outlet.
(2) Use Method 25A of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 if the add-on
control device is an oxidizer, and you expect the total gaseous organic
concentration as carbon to be 50 ppm or less at the control device
outlet.
(c) For each test run, determine the total gaseous organic emissions
mass flow rates for the inlet and the outlet of the add-on control
device, using Equation 1 of this section. If there is more than one
inlet or outlet to the add-on control device, you must calculate the
total gaseous organic mass flow rate using Equation 1 of this section
for each inlet and each outlet and then total all of the inlet emissions
and total all of the outlet emissions.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.005
Where:
Mf = total gaseous organic emissions mass flow rate, kg/hour
(kg/h)
Cc = concentration of organic compounds as carbon in the vent
gas, as determined by Method 25 or Method 25A, parts per million by
volume (ppmv), dry basis
Qsd = volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting the
add-on control device, as determined by Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, or
[[Page 45]]
2G, dry standard cubic meters/hour (dscm/h)
0.0416 = conversion factor for molar volume, kg-moles per cubic meter
(mol/m\3\) (@ 293 Kelvin [K] and 760 millimeters of mercury [mmHg]).
(d) For each test run, determine the add-on control device organic
emissions destruction or removal efficiency, using Equation 2 of this
section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR27MY03.006
Where:
DRE = organic emissions destruction or removal efficiency of the add-on
control device, percent
Mfi = total gaseous organic emissions mass flow rate at the
inlet(s) to the add-on control device, using Equation 1 of this section,
kg/h
Mfo = total gaseous organic emissions mass flow rate at the
outlet(s) of the add-on control device, using Equation 1 of this
section, kg/h.
(e) Determine the emission destruction or removal efficiency of the
add-on control device as the average of the efficiencies determined in
the three test runs and calculated in Equation 2 of this section.
Sec. 63.9324 How do I establish the emission capture system and add-on
control device operating limits during the performance test?
During the performance test required by Sec. 63.9310, you must
establish the operating limits required by Sec. 63.9302 according to
this section, unless you have received approval for alternative
monitoring and operating limits under Sec. 63.8(f) as specified in
Sec. 63.9302.
(a) Thermal oxidizers. If your add-on control device is a thermal
oxidizer, establish the operating limits according to paragraphs (a)(1)
and (2) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must monitor and record the
combustion temperature at least once every 15 minutes during each of the
three test runs. You must monitor the temperature in the firebox of the
thermal oxidizer or immediately downstream of the firebox before any
substantial heat exchange occurs.
(2) Use the data collected during the performance test to calculate
and record the average combustion temperature maintained during the
performance test. This average combustion temperature is the minimum
operating limit for your thermal oxidizer.
(b) Catalytic oxidizers. If your add-on control device is a
catalytic oxidizer, establish the operating limits according to either
paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) or paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section.
(1) During the performance test, you must monitor and record the
temperature just before the catalyst bed and the temperature difference
across the catalyst bed at least once every 15 minutes during each of
the three test runs.
(2) Use the data collected during the performance test to calculate
and record the average temperature just before the catalyst bed and the
average temperature difference across the catalyst bed maintained during
the performance test. These are the minimum operating limits for your
catalytic oxidizer.
(3) As an alternative to monitoring the temperature difference
across the catalyst bed, you may monitor the temperature at the inlet to
the catalyst bed and implement a site-specific inspection and
maintenance plan for your catalytic oxidizer as specified in paragraph
(b)(4) of this section. During the performance test, you must monitor
and record the temperature just before the catalyst bed at least once
every 15 minutes during each of the three test runs. Use the data
collected during the performance test to calculate and record the
average temperature just before the catalyst bed during the performance
test. This is the minimum operating limit for your catalytic oxidizer.
(4) You must develop and implement an inspection and maintenance
plan for your catalytic oxidizer(s) for which you elect to monitor
according to paragraph (b)(3) of this section. The plan must address, at
a minimum, the elements specified in paragraphs (b)(4)(i) through (iii)
of this section.
(i) Annual sampling and analysis of the catalyst activity (i.e.,
conversion
[[Page 46]]
efficiency) following the manufacturer's or catalyst supplier's
recommended procedures.
(ii) Monthly inspection of the oxidizer system, including the burner
assembly and fuel supply lines for problems and, as necessary, adjust
the equipment to assure proper air-to-fuel mixtures.
(iii) Annual internal and monthly external visual inspection of the
catalyst bed to check for channeling, abrasion, and settling. If
problems are found, you must take corrective action consistent with the
manufacturer's recommendation and conduct a new performance test to
determine destruction efficiency according to Sec. 63.9323.
(c) Emission capture system. For each capture device that is not
part of a PTE that meets the criteria of Sec. 63.9322(a), establish an
operating limit for either the gas volumetric flow rate or duct static
pressure, as specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section. The
operating limit for a PTE is specified in Table 3 to this subpart.
(1) During the capture efficiency determination required by Sec.
63.9310, you must monitor and record either the gas volumetric flow rate
or the duct static pressure for each separate capture device in your
emission capture system at least once every 15 minutes during each of
the three test runs at a point in the duct between the capture device
and the add-on control device inlet.
(2) Calculate and record the average gas volumetric flow rate or
duct static pressure for the three test runs for each capture device.
This average gas volumetric flow rate or duct static pressure is the
minimum operating limit for that specific capture device.
Sec. 63.9330 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission
limitation?
(a) You must demonstrate initial compliance with the emission
limitation that applies to you according to Table 3 to this subpart.
(b) You must submit the Notification of Compliance Status containing
results of the initial compliance demonstration according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.9345(c).
Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9335 How do I monitor and collect data to demonstrate continuous
compliance?
(a) Except for monitor malfunctions, associated repairs, and
required quality assurance or quality control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration drift checks and required zero and high-level
adjustments of the monitoring system), you must conduct all monitoring
in continuous operation at all times the engine test cell/stand is
operating.
(b) Do not use data recorded during monitor malfunctions, associated
repairs, and required quality assurance or quality control activities
for meeting the requirements of this subpart, including data averages
and calculations. You must use all the data collected during all other
periods in assessing the performance of the emission control device or
in assessing emissions from the new or reconstructed affected source.
Sec. 63.9340 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission
limitations?
(a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission
limitation in Table 1 to this subpart that applies to you according to
methods specified in Table 5 to this subpart.
(b) You must report each instance in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of
this section. These instances are deviations from the emission
limitation in this subpart and must be reported according to the
requirements in Sec. 63.9350.
(1) You must report each instance in which you did not meet the
emission limitation that applies to you.
(2) You must report each instance in which you did not meet the
requirements in Table 7 to this subpart that apply to you.
(c) Startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions. (1) Consistent with
Sec. Sec. 63.6(e) and 63.7(e)(1), deviations that occur during a period
of SSM of control devices and associated monitoring equipment are not
violations if you demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that
you were operating in accordance with Sec. 63.6(e)(1).
[[Page 47]]
(2) The Administrator will determine whether deviations that occur
during a period of SSM of control devices and associated monitoring
equipment are violations, according to the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e).

and in this section:
CAA means the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., as amended by
Public Law 101-549, 104 Statute 2399).
Area source means any stationary source of HAP that is not a major
source as defined in this part.
Combustion turbine engine means a device in which air is compressed
in a compressor, enters a combustion chamber, and is compressed further
by the combustion of fuel injected into the combustion chamber. The hot
compressed combustion gases then expand over a series of curved vanes or
blades arranged on a central spindle that rotates.
Deviation means any instance in which an affected source subject to
this subpart, or an owner or operator of such a source:
(1) Fails to meet any requirement or obligation established by this
subpart, including but not limited to any emission limitations;
(2) Fails to meet any term or condition that is adopted to implement
an applicable requirement in this subpart and that is included in the
operating permit for any affected source required to obtain such a
permit; or
[[Page 51]]
(3) Fails to meet any emission limitation in this subpart during
malfunction, regardless or whether or not such failure is permitted by
this subpart.
Engine means any internal combustion engine, any combustion turbine
engine, or any rocket engine.
Engine Test Cell/Stand means any apparatus used for testing
uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive) engines.
Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) means any air pollutant listed in or
pursuant to section 112(b) of the CAA.
Internal combustion engine means a device in which air enters a
combustion chamber, is mixed with fuel, compressed in the chamber, and
combusted. Fuel may enter the combustion chamber with the air or be
injected into the combustion chamber. Expansion of the hot combustion
gases in the chamber rotates a shaft, either through a reciprocating or
rotary action. For purposes of this subpart, this definition does not
include combustion turbine engines.
Major source, as used in this subpart, shall have the same meaning
as in Sec. 63.2.
Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably
preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process
equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner which
causes, or has the potential to cause, the emission limitations in an
applicable standard to be exceeded. Failures that are caused in part by
poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
Rated power means the maximum power output of an engine in use.
Potential to emit means the maximum capacity of a stationary source
to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any
physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the stationary
source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment
and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of
material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of
its design if the limitation or the effect it would have on emissions is
federally enforceable.
Responsible official means responsible official as defined by 40 CFR
70.2.
Rocket engine means a device consisting of a combustion chamber in
which materials referred to as propellants, which provide both the fuel
and the oxygen for combustion, are burned. Combustion gases escape
through a nozzle, providing thrust.
Uninstalled engine means an engine not installed in, or an
integrated part of, the final product.

Subpart QQQQQ_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Friction Materials Manufacturing Facilities
Source: 67 FR 64506, Oct. 18, 2002, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.9480 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) for friction materials manufacturing facilities
that use
[[Page 61]]
a solvent-based process. This subpart also establishes requirements to
demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with all applicable
emission limitations in this subpart.
Sec. 63.9485 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a friction
materials manufacturing facility (as defined in Sec. 63.9565) that is
(or is part of) a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP)
emissions on the first compliance date that applies to you, as specified
in Sec. 63.9495. Your friction materials manufacturing facility is a
major source of HAP if it emits or has the potential to emit any single
HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any
combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per
year.
(b) The requirements in this subpart do not apply to research and
development facilities, as defined in section 112(c)(7) of the Clean Air
Act.
Sec. 63.9490 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source at your friction materials manufacturing facility.
(b) The affected source covered by this subpart is each new,
reconstructed, or existing solvent mixer (as defined in Sec. 63.9565)
at your friction materials manufacturing facility.
(c) A solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing
facility is new if you commence construction of the solvent mixer after
October 18, 2002. An affected source is reconstructed if it meets the
definition of ``reconstruction'' in Sec. 63.2, and reconstruction is
commenced after October 18, 2002.
(d) A solvent mixer at your friction materials manufacturing
facility is existing if it is not new or reconstructed.
Sec. 63.9495 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) If you have an existing solvent mixer, you must comply with each
of the requirements for existing sources no later than October 18, 2005.
(b) If you have a new or reconstructed solvent mixer and its initial
startup date is after October 18, 2002, you must comply with the
requirements for new and reconstructed sources upon initial startup.
(c) If your friction materials manufacturing facility is an area
source that increases its emissions or its potential to emit such that
it becomes a (or part of a) major source of HAP emissions, then
paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section apply.
(1) For any portion of the area source that becomes a new or
reconstructed affected source, you must comply with the requirements for
new and reconstructed sources upon startup or no later than October 18,
2002, whichever is later.
(2) For any portion of the area source that becomes an existing
affected source, you must comply with the requirements for existing
sources no later than 1 year after the area source becomes a major
source or no later than October 18, 2005, whichever is later.
(d) You must meet the notification and schedule requirements in
Sec. 63.9535. Several of the notifications must be submitted before the
compliance date for your affected source.
Emission Limitations
Sec. 63.9500 What emission limitations must I meet?
(a) For each new, reconstructed, or existing large solvent mixer at
your friction materials manufacturing facility, you must limit HAP
solvent emissions to the atmosphere to no more than 30 percent of that
which would otherwise be emitted in the absence of solvent recovery and/
or solvent substitution, based on a 7-day block average.
(b) For each new, reconstructed, or existing small solvent mixer at
your friction materials manufacturing facility, you must limit HAP
solvent emissions to the atmosphere to no more than 15 percent of that
which would otherwise be emitted in the absence of solvent recovery and/
or solvent substitution, based on a 7-day block average.
[[Page 62]]
General Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9505 What are my general requirements for complying with this
subpart?
(a) You must be in compliance with the emission limitation in this
subpart at all times, except during periods of startup, shutdown, or
malfunction.
(b) You must always operate and maintain your affected source,
including air pollution control and monitoring equipment, according to
the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i).
(c) You must develop a written startup, shutdown, and malfunction
plan according to the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e)(3).
[67 FR 64506, Oct. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 20470, Apr. 20, 2006]
Initial Compliance Demonstration Requirements
Sec. 63.9510 By what date must I conduct my initial compliance demonstration?
(a) If you use a solvent recovery system and/or solvent
substitution, you must conduct your initial compliance demonstration
within 7 calendar days after the compliance date that is specified for
your source in Sec. 63.9495.
(b) If you use a control technique other than a solvent recovery
system and/or solvent substitution, you must comply with the provisions
in Sec. 63.9570.
Sec. 63.9515 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission
limitation that applies to me?
(a) You have demonstrated initial compliance for each new,
reconstructed, or existing large solvent mixer subject to the emission
limitation in Sec. 63.9500(a) if the HAP solvent discharged to the
atmosphere during the first 7 days after the compliance date, determined
according to the provisions in Sec. 63.9520, does not exceed a 7-day
block average of 30 percent of that which would otherwise be emitted in
the absence of solvent recovery and/or solvent substitution.
(b) You have demonstrated initial compliance for each new,
reconstructed, or existing small solvent mixer subject to the emission
limitation in Sec. 63.9500(b) if the HAP solvent discharged to the
atmosphere during the first 7 days after the compliance date, determined
according to the provisions in Sec. 63.9520, does not exceed a 7-day
block average of 15 percent of that which would otherwise be emitted in
the absence of solvent recovery and/or solvent substitution.
(c) You must submit a notification of compliance status containing
the results of the initial compliance demonstration according to Sec.
63.9535(e).
Sec. 63.9520 What procedures must I use to demonstrate initial compliance?
(a) If you use a solvent recovery system, you must use the
procedures in paragraphs (a)(1) through (8) of this section to
demonstrate initial compliance with the emission limitations in Sec.
63.9500(a) and (b).
(1) Record the date and time of each mix batch.
(2) Record the identity of each mix batch using a unique batch ID,
as defined in Sec. 63.9565.
(3) Measure and record the weight of HAP solvent loaded into the
solvent mixer for each mix batch.
(4) Measure and record the weight of HAP solvent recovered for each
mix batch.
(5) If you use a solvent recovery system, you must determine the
percent of HAP solvent discharged to the atmosphere for each mix batch
according to Equation 1 of this section as follows:
(Eq. 1)
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR18OC02.002
Where:
Pb = Percent of HAP solvent discharged to the atmosphere for
each mix batch, percent;
Srec = Weight of HAP solvent recovered for each mix batch,
lb;
Smix = Weight of HAP solvent loaded into the solvent mixer
for each mix batch, lb.
(6) If you use solvent substitution for a mix batch, you must record
the use of a non-HAP material as a substitute for a HAP solvent for that
mix batch and assign a value of 0 percent to the percent of HAP solvent
discharged to the atmosphere for that mix batch (Pb).
(7) Determine the 7-day block average percent of HAP solvent
discharged
[[Page 63]]
to the atmosphere according to Equation 2 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR18OC02.003
Where:
%P7 = 7-day block average percent of HAP solvent discharged
to the atmosphere, percent;
i = mix batch;
n = number of mix batches in 7-day block average.
(8) Have valid data for at least 90 percent of the mix batches over
the 7-day averaging period.
(b) If you use a control technique other than a solvent recovery
system and/or solvent substitution, you may apply to EPA for approval to
use an alternative method of demonstrating compliance with the emission
limitations for solvent mixers in Sec. 63.9500(a) and (b), as provided
in Sec. 63.9570.
Sec. 63.9525 What are the installation, operation, and maintenance
requirements for my weight measurement device?
(a) If you use a solvent recovery system, you must install, operate,
and maintain a weight measurement device to measure the weight of HAP
solvent loaded into the solvent mixer and the weight of HAP solvent
recovered for each mix batch.
(b) For each weight measurement device required by this section, you
must develop and submit for approval a site-specific monitoring plan
that addresses the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (6) of this
section:
(1) Procedures for installing the weight measurement device;
(2) The minimum accuracy of the weight measurement device in pounds
and as a percent of the average weight of solvent to be loaded into the
solvent mixer;
(3) Site-specific procedures for how the measurements will be made;
(4) How the measurement data will be recorded, reduced, and stored;
(5) Procedures and acceptance criteria for calibration of the weight
measurement device; and
(6) How the measurement device will be maintained, including a
routine maintenance schedule and spare parts inventory list.
(c) The site-specific monitoring plan required in paragraph (b) of
this section must include, at a minimum, the requirements of paragraphs
(c)(1) through (3) of this section:
(1) The weight measurement device must have a minimum accuracy of
0.05 kilograms (0.1 pounds)
or 1 percent of the average weight of solvent to
be loaded into the solvent mixer, whichever is greater.
(2) An initial multi-point calibration of the weight measurement
device must be made using 5 points spanning the expected range of weight
measurements before the weight measurement device can be used. The
manufacturer's calibration results can be used to meet this requirement.
(3) Once per day, an accuracy audit must be made using a single
Class F calibration weight that corresponds to 20 to 80 percent of the
average weight of solvent to be loaded into the solvent mixer. If the
weight measurement device cannot reproduce the value of the calibration
weight within 0.05 kilograms (0.1 pounds) or
1 percent of the average weight of solvent to be
loaded into the solvent mixer, whichever is greater, the scale must be
recalibrated before being used again. The recalibration must be
performed with at least five Class F calibration weights spanning the
expected range of weight measurements.
(d) You must operate and maintain the weight measurement device
according to the site-specific monitoring plan.
(e) You must maintain records of all maintenance activities,
calibrations, and calibration audits.
Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9530 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission
limitation that applies to me?

minimizing the formation of formaldehyde (and other products of
incomplete combustion). The Administrator will review the adequacy of
the site-specific practices and objectives you will follow and the
records you will keep to demonstrate compliance with your Plan. If the
Administrator determines that any portion of your operation and
maintenance plan is not adequate, we can reject those portions of the
plan, and request that you provide additional information addressing the
relevant issues. In the interim of this process, you will continue to
follow your current site-specific practices and objectives, as
submitted, until your revisions are accepted as adequate by the
Administrator. You must maintain a current copy of the operation and
maintenance plan onsite, and it must be available for inspection upon
request. You must keep the plan for the life of the affected source or
until the affected source is no longer subject to the requirements of
this subpart. Each operation and maintenance plan must address the
elements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) Preventative maintenance for each control device, including a
preventative maintenance schedule that is consistent with the

the event a bag leak detection system alarm is triggered, you must
initiate corrective action to determine the cause of the alarm within 1
hour of the alarm, initiate corrective action to correct the cause of
the problem within 24 hours of the alarm, and complete the
[[Page 72]]
corrective action as soon as practicable. Corrective actions may
include, but are not limited to, the actions listed in paragraphs
(b)(2)(i) through (vi) of this section.
(i) Inspecting the baghouse for air leaks, torn or broken bags or
filter media, or any other condition that may cause an increase in

and (2) of this section.
(1) Any portion of the existing facility that is a new affected
source or a new reconstructed source must be in
[[Page 95]]
compliance with this subpart upon startup.
(2) All other parts of the existing facility must be in compliance
with this subpart by 3 years after the date the area source becomes a
major source.
(e) If you have a new area source (i.e., an area source for which
construction or reconstruction was commenced after June 20, 2002) that
increases its emissions or its potential to emit such that it becomes a
major source of HAP, you must be in compliance with this subpart upon
initial startup of your affected source as a major source.
(f) You must meet the notification requirements in Sec. 63.9812
according to the schedule in Sec. 63.9812 and in 40 CFR part 63,
subpart A. Some of the notifications must be submitted before you are

standards must I meet?
(a) You must meet each emission limit in Table 1 to this subpart
that applies to you.
(b) You must meet each operating limit in Table 2 to this subpart
that applies to you.
(c) You must meet each work practice standard in Table 3 to this
subpart that applies to you.
Sec. 63.9790 What are my options for meeting the emission limits?
To meet the emission limits in Table 1 to this subpart, you must use
one or both of the options listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section.
(a) Emissions control system. Use an emissions capture and
collection system and an add-on air pollution control device (APCD) and
demonstrate that the resulting emissions or emissions reductions meet
the applicable emission limits in Table 1 to this subpart, and
demonstrate that the capture and collection system and APCD meet the
applicable operating limits in Table 2 to this subpart.
(b) Process changes. Use raw materials that have little or no
potential to emit HAP during the refractory products manufacturing
process or implement manufacturing process changes and demonstrate that
the resulting emissions or emissions reductions meet the applicable
emission limits in Table 1 to this subpart without an add-on APCD.

buffer solution that is accurate to within 0.02 pH
units at 25 [deg]C (77 [deg]F). If the expected pH of the liquid that is
monitored lies in the acidic range (less than 7 pH), use a buffer
solution with a pH value of 4.00. If the expected pH of the liquid that
is monitored is neutral or lies in the basic range (equal to or greater
than 7 pH), use a buffer solution with a pH value of 10.00. Place the
electrode of your pH CPMS in the container of buffer solution. Record
the pH measured by your CPMS. Using the certified buffer solution as the
reference, the pH measured by your CPMS must be within the accuracy
specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section.

relative PM loadings.
(4) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to
continuously record the output signal from the sensor.
(5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm
system that will be engaged automatically when an increase in relative
PM emissions over a preset level is detected. The alarm must be located
where it is easily recognized by plant operating personnel.
(6) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak detector
must be installed in each baghouse compartment or cell.
(7) For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag
leak detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter.
(8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(9) The baseline output must be established by adjusting the range
and the averaging period of the device and establishing the alarm set
points and the alarm delay time according to section 5.0 of the ``Fabric
Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance.''
(10) Following initial adjustment of the system, the owner or
operator must not adjust the sensitivity or range, averaging period,
alarm set points, or alarm delay time except as detailed in the OM&M
plan. In no case may the sensitivity be increased by more than 100
percent or decreased by more than 50 percent over a 365-day period
unless such adjustment follows a complete fabric filter inspection that
demonstrates that the fabric filter is in good operating condition. You
must record each adjustment of your bag leak detection system.
[[Page 105]]
(11) Record the results of each inspection, calibration, and
validation check.
(g) For each lime feed rate measurement device that is used to
monitor the lime feed rate of a dry injection fabric filter (DIFF) or
dry lime scrubber/fabric filter (DLS/FF), or the chemical feed rate of a
wet scrubber, you must meet the requirements in paragraph (a) of this
section.
(h) For each affected source that is subject to the emission limit
specified in item 3, 4, 7, or 8 of Table 1 to this subpart, you must

Sec. 63.9806 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission
limits, operating limits, and work practice standards?
(a) You must demonstrate initial compliance with each emission limit
that applies to you according to the requirements specified in Table 5
to this subpart.
(b) You must establish each site-specific operating limit in Table 2
to this subpart that applies to you according to the requirements
specified in Sec. 63.9800 and Table 4 to this subpart.
(c) You must demonstrate initial compliance with each work practice
standard that applies to you according to the requirements specified in
Table 6 to this subpart.

Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9808 How do I monitor and collect data to demonstrate continuous
compliance?
(a) You must monitor and collect data according to this section.
(b) At all times, you must maintain your monitoring systems
including, but not limited to, maintaining necessary parts for routine
repairs of the monitoring equipment.
(c) Except for, as applicable, monitoring system malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or quality control
activities, you must monitor continuously whenever your affected process
unit is operating. For purposes of calculating data averages, you must
not use data recorded during monitoring system malfunctions, associated
repairs, and required quality assurance or quality control activities.
You must use all the data collected during all other periods in
assessing compliance. A monitoring system malfunction is any sudden,
infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system
to provide valid data. Monitoring system malfunctions include out of
control continuous monitoring systems (CMS), such as a CPMS. Any
averaging period for which you do not have valid monitoring data as a
result of a monitoring system malfunction and for which such data are
required constitutes a deviation, and you must notify the Administrator
in accordance with Sec. 63.9814(e). Monitoring system failures are
different from monitoring system malfunctions in that they are caused in
part by poor maintenance or careless operation. Any period for which
there is a monitoring system failure and data are not available for
required calculations constitutes a deviation and you must notify the
Administrator in accordance with Sec. 63.9814(e).
Sec. 63.9810 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission
limits, operating limits, and work practice standards?
(a) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each emission
limit specified in Table 1 to this subpart that applies to you according
to the requirements specified in Table 7 to this subpart.
(b) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each operating
limit specified in Table 2 to this subpart that applies to you according
to the requirements specified in Table 8 to this subpart.
[[Page 106]]
(c) You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each work
practice standard specified in Table 3 to this subpart that applies to
you according to the requirements specified in Table 9 to this subpart.
(d) For each affected source that is equipped with an add-on APCD
that is not addressed in Table 2 to this subpart or that is using
process changes as a means of meeting the emission limits in Table 1 to
this subpart, you must demonstrate continuous compliance with each
emission limit in Table 1 to this subpart and each operating limit
established as required in Sec. 63.9800(i)(3) according to the methods
specified in your approved alternative monitoring methods request as
described in Sec. 63.9800(i)(2).
(e) You must report each instance in which you did not meet each
emission limit and each operating limit in this subpart that applies to
you. This includes periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. These
instances are deviations from the emission limitations in this subpart.
These deviations must be reported according to the requirements in Sec.
63.9814.
(1) [Reserved]
(2) Consistent with Sec. Sec. 63.6(e) and 63.7(e)(1), deviations
that occur during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are not
violations if you demonstrate to the Administrator's satisfaction that
you were operating in accordance with Sec. 63.6(e)(1) and your OM&M
plan. The Administrator will determine whether deviations that occur
during a period of startup, shutdown, or malfunction are violations,
according to the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e).

Sec. 63.9824 What definitions apply to this subpart?
Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act, in 40
CFR 63.2, the General Provisions of this part, and in this section as
follows:
Additive means a minor addition of a chemical, mineral, or metallic
substance that is added to a refractory mixture to facilitate processing
or impart specific properties to the final refractory product.
Add-on air pollution control device (APCD) means equipment installed
on a process vent that reduces the quantity of a pollutant that is
emitted to the air.
Autoclave means a vessel that is used to impregnate fired and/or
unfired refractory shapes with pitch to form pitch-impregnated
refractory products. Autoclaves also can be used as defumers following
the impregnation process.
Bag leak detection system means an instrument that is capable of
monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a fabric filter
in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak detection system includes,
but is not limited to, an instrument that operates on triboelectric,
light-scattering, light-transmittance, or other effects to monitor
relative PM loadings.
Basket means the metal container used to hold refractory shapes for
pitch impregnation during the shape preheating, impregnation, defuming,
and, if applicable, coking processes.
Batch process means a process in which a set of refractory shapes is
acted upon as a single unit according to a predetermined schedule,
during which none of the refractory shapes being processed are added or
removed. A batch process does not operate continuously.
Binder means a substance added to a granular material to give it
workability and green or dry strength.
Catalytic oxidizer means an add-on air pollution control device that
is designed specifically to destroy organic compounds in a process
exhaust gas stream by catalytic incineration. A catalytic oxidizer
includes a bed of catalyst media through which the process exhaust
stream passes to promote combustion and incineration at a lower
temperature than would be possible without the catalyst.
Chromium refractory product means a refractory product that contains
at least 1 percent chromium by weight.
Clay refractory product means a refractory product that contains at
least 10 percent uncalcined clay by weight prior to firing in a kiln. In
this definition, the term ``clay'' means any of the following six
classifications of clay defined by the U.S. Geologic Survey: ball clay,
bentonite, common clay and shale, fire clay, fuller's earth, and kaolin.
Coking oven means a thermal process unit that operates at a peak
temperature typically between 540[deg] and 870 [deg]C (1000[deg] and
1600 [deg]F) and is used to drive off the volatile constituents of
pitch-impregnated refractory shapes under a
[[Page 111]]
reducing or oxygen-deprived atmosphere.
Continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) means the total
equipment that is used to measure and record temperature, pressure,
liquid flow rate, gas flow rate, or pH on a continuous basis in one or
more locations. ``Total equipment'' includes the sensor, mechanical
components, electronic components, data acquisition system, data
recording system, electrical wiring, and other components of a CPMS.
Continuous process means a process that operates continuously. In a
continuous process unit, the materials or shapes that are processed are
either continuously charged (fed) to and discharged from the process
unit, or are charged and discharged at regular time intervals without
the process unit being shut down. Continuous thermal process units, such
as tunnel kilns, generally include temperature zones that are maintained
at relatively constant temperature and through which the materials or
shapes being processed are conveyed continuously or at regular time
intervals.
Curing oven means a thermal process unit that operates at a peak
temperature typically between 90[deg] and 340 [deg]C (200[deg] and 650
[deg]F) and is used to activate a thermosetting resin, pitch, or other

Subpart TTTTT_National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Primary Magnesium Refining
Source: 68 FR 58620, Oct. 10, 2003, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.9880 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants (NESHAP) for primary magnesium refineries. This subpart
also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous
compliance with all applicable emission limitations, work practice
standards, and operation and maintenance requirements.
Sec. 63.9881 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a primary
magnesium refinery that is (or is part of) a major source of hazardous
air pollutant (HAP) emissions. Your primary magnesium refinery is a
major source of HAP if it emits or has the potential to emit any single
HAP at a rate of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a
rate of 25 tons or more per year.
Sec. 63.9882 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) The affected sources are each new and existing primary magnesium
refining facility.
(b) This subpart covers emissions from each spray dryer stack,
magnesium chloride storage bins scrubber stack, melt/reactor system
stack, and launder off-gas system stack at your primary magnesium
refining facility. This subpart also covers fugitive dust emissions.
(c) Each primary magnesium refining facility is existing if you
commenced construction or reconstruction of the affected source before
January 22, 2003.
(d) Each primary magnesium refining facility is new if you commence
construction or reconstruction of the affected source on or after
January 22, 2003. An affected source is reconstructed if it meets the
definition of reconstruction in Sec. 63.2.
Sec. 63.9883 When do I have to comply with this subpart?
(a) If you have an existing source, you must comply with each
emission limitation, work practice standard, and operation and
maintenance requirement in this subpart that applies to you no later
than October 11, 2004.
(b) If you have a new affected source and its initial startup date
is on or before October 11, 2003, you must comply with each emission
limitation, work practice standard, and operation and maintenance
requirement in this subpart that applies to you by October 10, 2003.
(c) If you have a new affected source and its initial startup date
is after October 10, 2003, you must comply with each emission
limitation, work practice standard, and operation and maintenance
requirement in this subpart that applies to you upon initial startup.
(d) If your primary magnesium refinery is an area source that
becomes a major source of HAP, the compliance
[[Page 143]]
dates in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section apply to you:
(1) Any portion of the existing primary magnesium refinery that is a
new affected source or a new reconstructed source must be in compliance
with this subpart upon startup.
(2) All other parts of the primary magnesium refinery must be in
compliance with this subpart no later than 2 years after it becomes a
major source.
(e) You must meet the notification and schedule requirements in
Sec. 63.9930. Several of these notifications must be submitted before
the compliance date for your affected source.
Emission Limitations and Work Practice Standards
Sec. 63.9890 What emission limitations must I meet?
(a) You must meet each emission limit in Table 1 to this subpart
that applies to you.
(b) For each wet scrubber applied to meet any particulate matter,
particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), chlorine,
hydrochloric acid, or dioxins/furans emission limit in Table 1 to this
subpart, you must maintain the hourly average pressure drop and scrubber
liquid flow rate at or above the minimum level established during the
initial or subsequent performance test.
Sec. 63.9891 What work practice standards must I meet for my fugitive dust
sources?
(a) You must prepare and at all times operate according to a
fugitive dust emissions control plan that describes in detail the
measures that will be put in place to control fugitive dust emissions
from all unpaved roads and other unpaved operational areas.
(b) You must submit a copy of your fugitive dust emissions control
plan for approval to the Administrator on or before the applicable
compliance date for the affected source as specified in Sec. 63.9883.
The requirement to operate according to the fugitive dust emissions
control plan must be incorporated by reference in the source's operating
permit issued by the permitting authority under 40 CFR part 70 or 40 CFR
part 71.
(c) You can use an existing fugitive dust emissions control plan
provided it meets the requirements in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of
this section.
(1) The plan satisfies the requirements of paragraph (a) of this
section.
(2) The plan describes the current measures to control fugitive dust
emission sources.
(3) The plan has been approved as part of a State implementation
plan or title V permit.
(d) You must maintain a current copy of the fugitive dust emissions
control plan on-site and available for inspection upon request. You must
keep the plan for the life of the affected source or until the affected
source is no longer subject to the requirements of this subpart.
Operation and Maintenance Requirements
Sec. 63.9900 What are my operation and maintenance requirements?
(a) As required by Sec. 63.6(e)(1)(i), you must always operate and
maintain your affected source, including air pollution control and
monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with good air pollution
control practices for minimizing emissions at least to the levels
required by this subpart.
(b) You must prepare and operate at all times according to a written
operation and maintenance plan for each control device subject to an
operating limit in Sec. 63.9890(b). Each plan must address preventative
maintenance for each control device, including a preventative
maintenance schedule that is consistent with the manufacturer's
instructions for routine and long-term maintenance.
(c) You must maintain a current copy of the operation and
maintenance plan required in paragraph (b) of this section on-site and
available for inspection upon request. You must keep the plan for the
life of the affected source or until the affected source is no longer
subject to the requirements of this subpart.
[[Page 144]]
General Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.9910 What are my general requirements for complying with this
subpart?
(a) You must be in compliance with the emission limitations, work
practice standards, and operation and maintenance requirements in this
subpart at all times, except during periods of startup, shutdown, and
malfunction as defined in Sec. 63.2.
(b) You must develop a written startup, shutdown, and malfunction
plan according to the provisions in Sec. 63.6(e)(3).
[68 FR 58620, Oct. 10, 2003, as amended at 71 FR 20471, Apr. 20, 2006]
Initial Compliance Requirements

(2) Restricted metallic scrap. For the production of steel other
than leaded steel, you must not charge to a furnace metallic scrap that
contains scrap from motor vehicle bodies, engine blocks, oil filters,
oily turnings, machine shop borings, transformers or capacitors
containing polychlorinated biphenyls, lead-containing components,
chlorinated plastics, or free organic liquids. For the production of
leaded steel, you must not charge to the furnace metallic scrap that
contains scrap from motor vehicle bodies, engine blocks, oil filters,
oily turnings, machine shop borings, transformers or capacitors
containing polychlorinated biphenyls, chlorinated plastics, or free
organic liquids. This restriction does not apply to any post-consumer
engine blocks, post-consumer oil filters, or oily turnings that are
processed or cleaned to the extent practicable such that the materials
do not include lead
[[Page 160]]
components, chlorinated plastics, or free organic liquids. This
restriction does not apply to motor vehicle scrap that is charged to
recover the chromium or nickel content if you meet the requirements in
paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
(b) Mercury requirements. For scrap containing motor vehicle scrap,
you must procure the scrap pursuant to one of the compliance options in
paragraphs (b)(1), (2), or (3) of this section for each scrap provider,
contract, or shipment. For scrap that does not contain motor vehicle
scrap, you must procure the scrap pursuant to the requirements in
paragraph (b)(4) of this section for each scrap provider, contract, or
shipment. You may have one scrap provider, contract, or shipment subject
to one compliance provision and others subject to another compliance
provision.
(1) Site-specific plan for mercury switches. You must comply with
the requirements in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (v) of this section.
(i) You must include a requirement in your scrap specifications for
removal of mercury switches from vehicle bodies used to make the scrap.
(ii) You must prepare and operate according to a plan demonstrating
how your facility will implement the scrap specification in paragraph
(b)(1)(i) of this section for removal of mercury switches. You must
submit the plan to the permitting authority for approval. You must
operate according to this plan as submitted during the review and
approval process, operate according to the approved plan at all times
after approval, and address any deficiency identified by the permitting
authority within 60 days following disapproval of a plan. You may
request approval to revise the plan and may operate according to the
revised plan unless and until the revision is disapproved by the
permitting authority. The permitting authority may change the approval
status of the plan upon 90-days written notice based upon the semiannual
compliance report or other information. The plan must include:
(A) A means of communicating to scrap purchasers and scrap providers
the need to obtain or provide motor vehicle scrap from which mercury
switches have been removed and the need to ensure the proper management
of the mercury switches removed from that scrap as required under the
rules implementing subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) (40 CFR parts 261 through 265 and 268). The plan must include
documentation of direction to appropriate staff to communicate to
suppliers throughout the scrap supply chain the need to promote the
removal of mercury switches from end-of-life vehicles. Upon the request
of the permitting authority, you must provide examples of materials that
are used for outreach to suppliers, such as letters, contract language,
policies for purchasing agents, and scrap inspection protocols;
(B) Provisions for obtaining assurance from scrap providers that
motor vehicle scrap provided to the facility meet the scrap
specification;
(C) Provisions for periodic inspections or other means of
corroboration to ensure that scrap providers and dismantlers are
implementing appropriate steps to minimize the presence of mercury
switches in motor vehicle scrap and that the mercury switches removed
are being properly managed, including the minimum frequency such means
of corroboration will be implemented; and
(D) Provisions for taking corrective actions (i.e., actions
resulting in scrap providers removing a higher percentage of mercury
switches or other mercury-containing components) if needed, based on the
results of procedures implemented in paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(C) of this
section).
(iii) You must require each motor vehicle scrap provider to provide
an estimate of the number of mercury switches removed from motor vehicle
scrap sent to your facility during the previous year and the basis for
the estimate. The permitting authority may request documentation or
additional information at any time.
(iv) You must establish a goal for each scrap provider to remove at
least 80 percent of the mercury switches. Although a site-specific plan
approved under paragraph (b)(1) of this section may require only the
removal of convenience light switch mechanisms, the permitting authority
will credit all
[[Page 161]]
documented and verifiable mercury-containing components removed from
motor vehicle scrap (such as sensors in anti-locking brake systems,
security systems, active ride control, and other applications) when
evaluating progress towards the 80 percent goal.
(v) For each scrap provider, you must submit semiannual progress
reports to the permitting authority that provide the number of mercury
switches removed or the weight of mercury recovered from the switches,
the estimated number of vehicles processed, an estimate of the percent
of mercury switches removed, and certification that the removed mercury
switches were recycled at RCRA-permitted facilities or otherwise
properly managed pursuant to RCRA subtitle C regulations referenced in
paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(A) of this section. This information can be
submitted in aggregated form and does not have to be submitted for each
scrap provider, contract, or shipment. The permitting authority may
change the approval status of a site-specific plan following 90-days
notice based on the progress reports or other information.
(2) Option for approved mercury programs. You must certify in your
notification of compliance status that you participate in and purchase
motor vehicle scrap only from scrap providers who participate in a
program for removal of mercury switches that has been approved by the
Administrator based on the criteria in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through
(iii) of this section. If you purchase motor vehicle scrap from a
broker, you must certify that all scrap received from that broker was
obtained from other scrap providers who participate in a program for the
removal of mercury switches that has been approved by the Administrator
based on the criteria in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (iii) of this
section. The National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program and the
Vehicle Switch Recovery Program mandated by Maine State law are EPA-
approved programs under paragraph (b)(2) of this section unless and
until the Administrator disapproves the program (in part or in whole)
under paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section.
(i) The program includes outreach that informs the dismantlers of
the need for removal of mercury switches and provides training and
guidance for removing mercury switches;
(ii) The program has a goal to remove at least 80 percent of mercury
switches from the motor vehicle scrap the scrap provider processes.
Although a program approved under paragraph (b)(2) of this section may
require only the removal of convenience light switch mechanisms, the
Administrator will credit all documented and verifiable mercury-
containing components removed from motor vehicle scrap (such as sensors
in anti-locking brake systems, security systems, active ride control,
and other applications) when evaluating progress towards the 80 percent
goal; and
(iii) The program sponsor agrees to submit progress reports to the
Administrator no less frequently than once every year that provide the
number of mercury switches removed or the weight of mercury recovered
from the switches, the estimated number of vehicles processed, an
estimate of the percent of mercury switches recovered, and certification
that the recovered mercury switches were recycled at facilities with
permits as required under the rules implementing subtitle C of RCRA (40
CFR parts 261 through 265 and 268). The progress reports must be based
on a database that includes data for each program participant; however,
data may be aggregated at the State level for progress reports that will
be publicly available. The Administrator may change the approval status
of a program or portion of a program (e.g., at the State level)
following 90-days notice based on the progress reports or on other
information.
(iv) You must develop and maintain onsite a plan demonstrating the
manner through which your facility is participating in the EPA-approved
program.
(A) The plan must include facility-specific implementation elements,
corporate-wide policies, and/or efforts coordinated by a trade
association as appropriate for each facility.
(B) You must provide in the plan documentation of direction to
appropriate staff to communicate to suppliers throughout the scrap
supply chain the
[[Page 162]]
need to promote the removal of mercury switches from end-of-life
vehicles. Upon the request of the permitting authority, you must provide
examples of materials that are used for outreach to suppliers, such as
letters, contract language, policies for purchasing agents, and scrap
inspection protocols.
(C) You must conduct periodic inspections or provide other means of
corroboration to ensure that scrap providers are aware of the need for
and are implementing appropriate steps to minimize the presence of
mercury in scrap from end-of-life vehicles.
(3) Option for specialty metal scrap. You must certify in your
notification of compliance status that the only materials from motor
vehicles in the scrap are materials recovered for their specialty alloy
(including, but not limited to, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or other
alloys) content (such as certain exhaust systems) and, based on the
nature of the scrap and purchase specifications, that the type of scrap
is not reasonably expected to contain mercury switches.
(4) Scrap that does not contain motor vehicle scrap. For scrap not
subject to the requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this
section, you must certify in your notification of compliance status and
maintain records of documentation that this scrap does not contain motor
vehicle scrap.
(c) Recordkeeping and reporting requirements. In addition to the
records required by Sec. 63.10, you must keep records to demonstrate
compliance with the requirements for your pollution prevention plan in
paragraph (a)(1) of this section and/or for the use of only restricted
scrap in paragraph (a)(2) of this section and for mercury in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (3) of this section as applicable. You must keep records
documenting compliance with paragraph (b)(4) of this section for scrap
that does not contain motor vehicle scrap.
(1) If you are subject to the requirements for a site-specific plan
for mercury under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, you must:
(i) Maintain records of the number of mercury switches removed or
the weight of mercury recovered from the switches and properly managed,
the estimated number of vehicles processed, and an estimate of the
percent of mercury switches recovered; and
(ii) Submit semiannual reports of the number of mercury switches
removed or the weight of mercury recovered from the switches and
properly managed, the estimated number of vehicles processed, an
estimate of the percent of mercury switches recovered, and a
certification that the recovered mercury switches were recycled at RCRA-
permitted facilities. The semiannual reports must include a
certification that you have conducted inspections or taken other means
of corroboration as required under paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(C) of this
section. You may include this information in the semiannual compliance
reports required under paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
(2) If you are subject to the option for approved mercury programs
under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, you must maintain records
identifying each scrap provider and documenting the scrap provider's
participation in an approved mercury switch removal program. If you
purchase motor vehicle scrap from a broker, you must maintain records
identifying each broker and documentation that all scrap provided by the
broker was obtained from other scrap providers who participate in an
approved mercury switch removal program.
(3) You must submit semiannual compliance reports to the
Administrator for the control of contaminants from scrap according to
the requirements in Sec. 63.10(e). The report must clearly identify any
deviation from the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section and the corrective action taken. You must identify which
compliance option in paragraph (b) of this section applies to each scrap
provider, contract, or shipment.
Sec. 63.10686 What are the requirements for electric arc furnaces and argon-
oxygen decarburization vessels?
(a) You must install, operate, and maintain a capture system that
collects the emissions from each EAF (including charging, melting, and
tapping operations) and argon-oxygen
[[Page 163]]
decarburization (AOD) vessel and conveys the collected emissions to a
control device for the removal of particulate matter (PM).
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, you must
not discharge or cause the discharge into the atmosphere from an EAF or
AOD vessel any gases which:
(1) Exit from a control device and contain in excess of 0.0052
grains of PM per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf); and
(2) Exit from a melt shop and, due solely to the operations of any
affected EAF(s) or AOD vessel(s), exhibit 6 percent opacity or greater.
(c) If you own or operate a new or existing affected source that has
a production capacity of less than 150,000 tons per year (tpy) of
stainless or specialty steel (as determined by the maximum production if
specified in the source's operating permit or EAF capacity and maximum
number of operating hours per year), you must not discharge or cause the
discharge into the atmosphere from an EAF or AOD vessel any gases which:
(1) Exit from a control device and contain particulate matter (PM)
in excess of 0.8 pounds per ton (lb/ton) of steel. Alternatively, the
owner or operator may elect to comply with a PM limit of 0.0052 grains
per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf); and
(2) Exit from a melt shop and, due solely to the operations of any
affected EAF(s) or AOD vessel(s), exhibit 6 percent opacity or greater.
(d) Except as provided in paragraph (d)(6) of this section, you must
conduct performance tests to demonstrate initial compliance with the
applicable emissions limit for each emissions source subject to an
emissions limit in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section.
(1) You must conduct each PM performance test for an EAF or AOD
vessel according to the procedures in Sec. 63.7 and 40 CFR 60.275a
using the following test methods in 40 CFR part 60, appendices A-1, A-2,
A-3, and A-4:
(i) Method 1 or 1A of appendix A-1 of 40 CFR part 60 to select
sampling port locations and the number of traverse points in each stack
or duct. Sampling sites must be located at the outlet of the control
device (or at the outlet of the emissions source if no control device is
present) prior to any releases to the atmosphere.
(ii) Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, or 2G of appendix A-1 of 40 CFR part
60 to determine the volumetric flow rate of the stack gas.
(iii) Method 3, 3A, or 3B of appendix A-3 of 40 CFR part 60 to
determine the dry molecular weight of the stack gas. You may use ANSI/
ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ``Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses'' (incorporated by
reference--see Sec. 63.14) as an alternative to EPA Method 3B.
(iv) Method 4 of appendix A-3 of 40 CFR part 60 to determine the
moisture content of the stack gas.
(v) Method 5 or 5D of appendix A-3 of 40 CFR part 60 to determine
the PM concentration. Three valid test runs are needed to comprise a PM
performance test. For EAF, sample only when metal is being melted and
refined. For AOD vessels, sample only when the operation(s) are being
conducted.
(2) You must conduct each opacity test for a melt shop according to
the procedures in Sec. 63.6(h) and Method 9 of appendix A-4 of 40 CFR
part 60. When emissions from any EAF or AOD vessel are combined with
emissions from emission sources not subject to this subpart, you must
demonstrate compliance with the melt shop opacity limit based on
emissions from only the emission sources subject to this subpart.
(3) During any performance test, you must monitor and record the
information specified in 40 CFR 60.274a(h) for all heats covered by the
test.
(4) You must notify and receive approval from the Administrator for
procedures that will be used to determine compliance for an EAF or AOD
vessel when emissions are combined with those from facilities not
subject to this subpart.
(5) To determine compliance with the PM emissions limit in paragraph
(c) of this section for an EAF or AOD vessel in a lb/ton of steel
format, compute the process-weighted mass emissions (Ep) for
each test run using Equation 1 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR28DE07.004
Where:
[[Page 164]]
Ep = Process-weighted mass emissions of PM, lb/ton;
C = Concentration of PM or total metal HAP, gr/dscf;
Q = Volumetric flow rate of stack gas, dscf/hr;
T = Total time during a test run that a sample is withdrawn from the
stack during steel production cycle, hr;
P = Total amount of metal produced during the test run, tons; and
K = Conversion factor, 7,000 grains per pound.
(6) If you own or operate an existing affected source that is
subject to the emissions limits in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section,
you may certify initial compliance with the applicable emission limit
for one or more emissions sources based on the results of a previous
performance test for that emissions source in lieu of the requirement
for an initial performance test provided that the test(s) were conducted
within 5 years of the compliance date using the methods and procedures
specified in paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section; the test(s) were
for the affected facility; and the test(s) were representative of
current or anticipated operating processes and conditions. Should the
permitting authority deem the prior test data unacceptable to
demonstrate compliance with an applicable emissions limit, the owner or
operator must conduct an initial performance test within 180 days of the
compliance date or within 90 days of receipt of the notification of
disapproval of the prior test, whichever is later.

Subpart ZZZZZ_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Iron and Steel Foundries Area Sources
Source: 73 FR 252, Jan. 2, 2008, unless otherwise noted.
Applicability and Compliance Dates
Sec. 63.10880 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate an iron
and steel foundry that is an area source of hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) emissions.
(b) This subpart applies to each new or existing affected source.
The affected source is each iron and steel foundry.
(1) An affected source is existing if you commenced construction or
reconstruction of the affected source before September 17, 2007.
(2) An affected source is new if you commenced construction or
reconstruction of the affected source on or after September 17, 2007. If
an affected source is not new pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is
not new as a result of a change in its compliance obligations pursuant
to Sec. 63.10881(d).

determine the initial applicability of the requirements of this subpart
to a small foundry or a large foundry based on your facility's metal
melt production for calendar year 2008. If the metal melt production for
calendar year 2008 is 20,000 tons or less, your area source is a small
foundry. If your metal melt production for calendar year 2008 is greater
than 20,000 tons, your area source is a large foundry. You must submit a
written notification to the Administrator that identifies your area
source as a small foundry or a large foundry no later than January 2,
2009.
(g) If you own or operate a new affected source, you must determine
the initial applicability of the requirements of this subpart to a small
foundry or a large foundry based on your facility's annual metal melting
capacity at startup. If the annual metal melting capacity is 10,000 tons
or less, your area source is a small foundry. If the annual metal
melting capacity is greater than 10,000 tons, your area source is a
large
[[Page 168]]
foundry. You must submit a written notification to the Administrator
that identifies your area source as a small foundry or a large foundry
no later than 120 days after startup.
Sec. 63.10881 What are my compliance dates?

Pollution Prevention Management Practices for New and Existing Affected
Sources
Sec. 63.10885 What are my management practices for metallic scrap and mercury
switches?
(a) Metallic scrap management program. For each segregated metallic
scrap storage area, bin or pile, you must comply with the materials
acquisition requirements in paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of this section. You
must keep a copy of the material specifications onsite and readily
available to all personnel with material acquisition duties, and provide
a copy to each of your scrap providers. You may have certain scrap
subject to paragraph (a)(1) of this section and other scrap subject to
paragraph (a)(2) of this section at your facility provided the metallic
scrap remains segregated until charge make-up.
(1) Restricted metallic scrap. You must prepare and operate at all
times according to written material specifications for the purchase and
use of only metal ingots, pig iron, slitter, or other materials that do
not include post-consumer automotive body scrap, post-consumer engine
blocks, post-consumer oil filters, oily turnings, lead components,
chlorinated plastics, or free liquids. For the purpose of this subpart,
``free liquids'' is defined as material that fails the paint filter test
by EPA Method 9095B, ``Paint Filter Liquids Test'' (revision 2),
November 2004 (incorporated by reference--see Sec. 63.14). The
requirements for no free liquids do not apply if the owner or operator
can demonstrate that the free liquid is water that resulted from scrap
exposure to rain.
(2) General iron and steel scrap. You must prepare and operate at
all times according to written material specifications for the purchase
and use of only iron and steel scrap that has been depleted (to the
extent practicable) of organics and HAP metals in the charge materials
used by the iron and steel foundry. The materials specifications must
include at minimum the information specified in paragraph (a)(2)(i) or
(ii) of this section.
(i) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section,
specifications for metallic scrap materials charged to a scrap preheater
or metal melting furnace to be depleted (to the extent practicable) of
the presence of used oil filters, chlorinated plastic parts, accessible
lead-containing components (such as batteries and wheel weights), and a
program to ensure the scrap materials are drained of free liquids.
(ii) For scrap charged to a cupola metal melting furnace that is
equipped with an afterburner, specifications for metallic scrap
materials to be depleted (to the extent practicable) of the presence of
chlorinated plastics, accessible lead-containing components (such as
batteries and wheel weights), and a program to ensure the scrap
materials are drained of free liquids.
(b) Mercury requirements. For scrap containing motor vehicle scrap,
you must procure the scrap pursuant to one of the compliance options in
paragraphs (b)(1), (2), or (3) of this section for each scrap provider,
contract, or shipment. For scrap that does not contain motor vehicle
scrap, you must procure the scrap pursuant to the requirements in
paragraph (b)(4) of this section for each scrap provider, contract, or
shipment. You may have one scrap provider, contract, or shipment subject
to one compliance provision and others subject to another compliance
provision.
(1) Site-specific plan for mercury switches. You must comply with
the requirements in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (v) of this section.
(i) You must include a requirement in your scrap specifications for
removal of mercury switches from vehicle bodies used to make the scrap.
(ii) You must prepare and operate according to a plan demonstrating
how your facility will implement the scrap specification in paragraph
(b)(1)(i) of this section for removal of mercury switches. You must
submit the plan to
[[Page 170]]
the Administrator for approval. You must operate according to the plan
as submitted during the review and approval process, operate according
to the approved plan at all times after approval, and address any
deficiency identified by the Administrator or delegated authority within
60 days following disapproval of a plan. You may request approval to
revise the plan and may operate according to the revised plan unless and
until the revision is disapproved by the Administrator or delegated
authority. The Administrator or delegated authority may change the
approval status of the plan upon 90-days written notice based upon the
semiannual report or other information. The plan must include:
(A) A means of communicating to scrap purchasers and scrap providers
the need to obtain or provide motor vehicle scrap from which mercury
switches have been removed and the need to ensure the proper management
of the mercury switches removed from the scrap as required under the
rules implementing subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) (40 CFR parts 261 through 265 and 268). The plan must include
documentation of direction to appropriate staff to communicate to
suppliers throughout the scrap supply chain the need to promote the
removal of mercury switches from end-of-life vehicles. Upon the request
of the Administrator or delegated authority, you must provide examples
of materials that are used for outreach to suppliers, such as letters,
contract language, policies for purchasing agents, and scrap inspection
protocols;
(B) Provisions for obtaining assurance from scrap providers motor
vehicle scrap provided to the facility meet the scrap specification;
(C) Provisions for periodic inspections or other means of
corroboration to ensure that scrap providers and dismantlers are
implementing appropriate steps to minimize the presence of mercury
switches in motor vehicle scrap and that the mercury switches removed
are being properly managed, including the minimum frequency such means
of corroboration will be implemented; and
(D) Provisions for taking corrective actions (i.e., actions
resulting in scrap providers removing a higher percentage of mercury
switches or other mercury-containing components) if needed, based on the
results of procedures implemented in paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(C) of this
section).
(iii) You must require each motor vehicle scrap provider to provide
an estimate of the number of mercury switches removed from motor vehicle
scrap sent to the facility during the previous year and the basis for
the estimate. The Administrator may request documentation or additional
information at any time.
(iv) You must establish a goal for each scrap supplier to remove at
least 80 percent of the mercury switches. Although a site-specific plan
approved under paragraph (b)(1) of this section may require only the
removal of convenience light switch mechanisms, the Administrator will
credit all documented and verifiable mercury-containing components
removed from motor vehicle scrap (such as sensors in anti-locking brake
systems, security systems, active ride control, and other applications)
when evaluating progress towards the 80 percent goal.
(v) For each scrap provider, you must submit semiannual progress
reports to the Administrator that provide the number of mercury switches
removed or the weight of mercury recovered from the switches, the
estimated number of vehicles processed, an estimate of the percent of
mercury switches removed, and certification that the removed mercury
switches were recycled at RCRA-permitted facilities or otherwise
properly managed pursuant to RCRA subtitle C regulations referenced in
paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(A) of this section. This information can be
submitted in aggregate form and does not have to be submitted for each
shipment. The Administrator may change the approval status of a site-
specific plan following 90-days notice based on the progress reports or
other information.
(2) Option for approved mercury programs. You must certify in your
notification of compliance status that you participate in and purchase
motor vehicle scrap only from scrap providers
[[Page 171]]
who participate in a program for removal of mercury switches that has
been approved by the Administrator based on the criteria in paragraphs
(b)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section. If you purchase motor vehicle
scrap from a broker, you must certify that all scrap received from that
broker was obtained from other scrap providers who participate in a
program for the removal of mercury switches that has been approved by
the Administrator based on the criteria in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through
(iii) of this section. The National Mercury Switch Recovery Program and
the State of Maine Mercury Switch Removal Program are EPA-approved
programs under paragraph (b)(2) of this section unless and until the
Administrator disapproves the program (in part or in whole) under
paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section.
(i) The program includes outreach that informs the dismantlers of
the need for removal of mercury switches and provides training and
guidance for removing mercury switches;
(ii) The program has a goal to remove at least 80 percent of mercury
switches from motor vehicle scrap the scrap provider processes. Although
a program approved under paragraph (b)(2) of this section may require
only the removal of convenience light switch mechanisms, the
Administrator will credit all documented and verifiable mercury-
containing components removed from motor vehicle scrap (such as sensors
in anti-locking brake systems, security systems, active ride control,
and other applications) when evaluating progress towards the 80 percent
goal; and
(iii) The program sponsor agrees to submit progress reports to the
Administrator no less frequently than once every year that provide the
number of mercury switches removed or the weight of mercury recovered
from the switches, the estimated number of vehicles processed, an
estimate of the percent of mercury switches recovered, and certification
that the recovered mercury switches were recycled at facilities with
permits as required under the rules implementing subtitle C of RCRA (40
CFR parts 261 through 265 and 268). The progress reports must be based
on a database that includes data for each program participant; however,
data may be aggregated at the State level for progress reports that will
be publicly available. The Administrator may change the approval status
of a program or portion of a program (e.g., at the State level)
following 90-days notice based on the progress reports or on other
information.
(iv) You must develop and maintain onsite a plan demonstrating the
manner through which your facility is participating in the EPA-approved
program.
(A) The plan must include facility-specific implementation elements,
corporate-wide policies, and/or efforts coordinated by a trade
association as appropriate for each facility.
(B) You must provide in the plan documentation of direction to
appropriate staff to communicate to suppliers throughout the scrap
supply chain the need to promote the removal or mercury switches from
end-of-life vehicles. Upon the request of the Administrator or delegated
authority, you must provide examples of materials that are used for
outreach to suppliers, such as letters, contract language, policies for
purchasing agents, and scrap inspection protocols.
(C) You must conduct periodic inspections or other means of
corroboration to ensure that scrap providers are aware of the need for
and are implementing appropriate steps to minimize the presence of
mercury in scrap from end-of-life vehicles.
(3) Option for specialty metal scrap. You must certify in your
notification of compliance status and maintain records of documentation
that the only materials from motor vehicles in the scrap are materials
recovered for their specialty alloy (including, but not limited to,
chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or other alloys) content (such as certain
exhaust systems) and, based on the nature of the scrap and purchase
specifications, that the type of scrap is not reasonably expected to
contain mercury switches.
(4) Scrap that does not contain motor vehicle scrap. For scrap not
subject to the requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this
section, you must certify in your notification of compliance status and
maintain records of
[[Page 172]]
documentation that this scrap does not contain motor vehicle scrap.

capable of producing molten metal. On blast conditions are characterized
by both blast air introduction and molten metal production.
Responsible official means responsible official as defined in Sec.
63.2.
Scrap preheater means a vessel or other piece of equipment in which
metal scrap that is to be used as melting furnace feed is heated to a
temperature high enough to eliminate volatile impurities or other tramp
materials by direct flame heating or similar means of heating. Scrap
dryers, which solely remove moisture from metal scrap, are not
considered to be scrap preheaters for purposes of this subpart.
Scrap provider means the person (including a broker) who contracts
directly with an iron and steel foundry to provide motor vehicle scrap.
Scrap processors such as shredder operators or vehicle dismantlers that
do not sell scrap directly to a foundry are not scrap providers.
[[Page 185]]
Scrubber blowdown means liquor or slurry discharged from a wet
scrubber that is either removed as a waste stream or processed to remove
impurities or adjust its composition or pH.
Small foundry means, for an existing affected source, an iron and
steel foundry that has an annual metal melt production of 20,000 tons or
less. For a new affected source, small foundry means an iron and steel
foundry that has an annual metal melt capacity of 10,000 tons or less.

the concentrations of compounds of antimony, arsenic, beryllium,
cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, and
selenium as measured by EPA Method 29 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8).
Only the measured concentration of the listed analytes that are present
at concentrations exceeding one-half the quantitation limit of the
analytical method are to be used in the sum. If any of the analytes are
not detected or are detected at concentrations less than one-half the
quantitation limit of the analytical method, the concentration of those
analytes will be assumed to be zero for the purposes of calculating the
total metal HAP for this subpart.

Subpart AAAAAA [Reserved]
Subpart BBBBBB_National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Source Category: Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants,
and Pipeline Facilities
Source: 73 FR 1933, Jan. 10, 2008, unless otherwise noted.
What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.11080 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes national emission limitations and
management practices for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from
area source gasoline distribution bulk terminals, bulk plants, and
pipeline facilities. This subpart also establishes requirements to
demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations and management
practices.
Sec. 63.11081 Am I subject to the requirements in this subpart?
(a) The affected source to which this subpart applies is each area
source bulk gasoline terminal, pipeline breakout station, pipeline
pumping station, and bulk gasoline plant identified in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (4) of this section. You are subject to the requirements in this
subpart if you own or operate one or more of the affected area sources
identified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) A bulk gasoline terminal that is not subject to the control
requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart R (Sec. Sec. 63.422, 63.423,
and 63.424) or 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC (Sec. Sec. 63.646, 63.648,
63.649, and 63.650).
(2) A pipeline breakout station that is not subject to the control
requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart R (Sec. Sec. 63.423 and
63.424).
(3) A pipeline pumping station.
(4) A bulk gasoline plant.
(b) If you are an owner or operator of affected sources, as defined
in (a)(1) through (4) of this section, you are not required to meet the
obligation to obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 70 or 40 CFR part 71 as
a result of being subject to this subpart. However, you are still
subject to the requirement to apply for and obtain a permit under 40 CFR
part 70 or 40 CFR part 71 if you meet one or more of the applicability
[[Page 189]]
criteria found in 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b) or 40 CFR part 71.3(a) and (b).
(c) Gasoline storage tanks that are located at affected sources
identified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section, and that
are used only for dispensing gasoline in a manner consistent with tanks
located at a gasoline dispensing facility as defined in Sec. 63.11132,
are not subject to any of the requirements in this subpart. These tanks
must comply with subpart CCCCCC of this part.
(d) The loading of aviation gasoline into storage tanks at airports,
and the subsequent transfer of aviation gasoline within the airport, is
not subject to this subpart.
(e) The loading of gasoline into marine tank vessels at bulk
facilities is not subject to this subpart.
(f) If your affected source's throughput ever exceeds an applicable
throughput threshold in the definition of ``bulk gasoline terminal'' or
in item 1 in Table 2 to this subpart, the affected source will remain
subject to the requirements for sources above the threshold, even if the
affected source throughput later falls below the applicable throughput
threshold.
(g) For the purpose of determining gasoline throughput, as used in
the definition of bulk gasoline plant and bulk gasoline terminal, the
20,000 gallons per day threshold throughput is the maximum calculated
design throughout for any day, and is not an average. An enforceable
State, local, or Tribal permit limitation on throughput, established
prior to the applicable compliance date, may be used in lieu of the
20,000 gallons per day design capacity throughput threshold to determine
whether the facility is a bulk gasoline plant or a bulk gasoline
terminal.
(h) Storage tanks that are used to load gasoline into a cargo tank
for the on-site redistribution of gasoline to another storage tank are
subject to this subpart.
(i) For any affected source subject to the provisions of this
subpart and another Federal rule, you may elect to comply only with the
more stringent provisions of the applicable subparts. You must consider
all provisions of the rules, including monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting. You must identify the affected source and provisions with
which you will comply in your Notification of Compliance Status required
under Sec. 63.11093. You also must demonstrate in your Notification of
Compliance Status that each provision with which you will comply is at
least as stringent as the otherwise applicable requirements in this
subpart. You are responsible for making accurate determinations
concerning the more stringent provisions; noncompliance with this rule
is not excused if it is later determined that your determination was in
error, and, as a result, you are violating this subpart. Compliance with
this rule is your responsibility, and the Notification of Compliance
Status does not alter or affect that responsibility.
(j) For new or reconstructed affected sources, as specified in Sec.
63.11082(b) and (c), recordkeeping to document applicable throughput
must begin upon startup of the affected source. For existing sources, as
specified in Sec. 63.11082(d), recordkeeping to document applicable
throughput must begin on January 10, 2008. Records required under this
paragraph shall be kept for a period of 5 years.
